    - `og:site_name`

- Twitter
    - `twitter:site`
    - `twitter:title`
    - `twitter:image`
    - `twitter:description`
    - `twitter:card`

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

SilverStripe 3.5+

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. `composer require creativecodelabs/silverstripe-social-meta-tags`
2. run a `/dev/build?flush=all`
3. Without any configuration, the module will begin rendering social media meta tags for all page types.

Defaults
--------

[](#defaults)

By default, the module will use the following fields to populate the meta tags:

- `og:type` --> `"website"`
- `og:site_name` --> `SiteConfig.Title`
- `og:title` --> `Title`
- `og:description` --> `MetaDescription`
- `og:url` --> `AbsoluteLink()`
- `twitter:title` --> `Title`
- `twitter:description` --> `MetaDescription`
- `twitter:card` --> `"summary"`

NOTE: `twitter:card` will be set to `"summary"` by default, unless an image field is used. If an image field is used, the content will be set to `"summary_large_image"`.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Configure the module by editing `mysite/_config/config.yml` and set the following options:

```
SocialMetaTags:
  default_title: 'PageTitle'
  default_description: 'MetaDescription'
  meta_description_default: true
  twitter_site: ''
  titles:
    ClassName: 'FieldName'
    ClassName1: 'FieldName1'
  descriptions:
    ClassName: 'FieldName'
    ClassName1: 'FieldName1'
  images:
    ClassName: 'FieldName'
    ClassName1: 'FieldName1'
  types:
    ClassName: 'website'
    ClassName1: 'article'
```

- `default_title` - override the default title field to use; `PageTitle` is used by default.
- `default_description` - override the default description field to use; `MetaDescription` is used by default.
- `meta_description_default` - flag that indicates whether to fall back to `MetaDescription` if the chosen description field is empty.
- `twitter_site` - the content to be used for thw `twitter:site` meta tag.
- `titles` - an array of class names, with the value being the name of the Text field to use for title meta tags. Useful for adding social media meta tag output to DataObjects.
- `descriptions` - an array of class names, with the value being the name of the Text field to use for description meta tags. Useful for adding social media meta tag output to DataObjects.
- `images` - an array of class names, with the value being the name of the Image field to use for image meta tags. Useful for adding social media meta tag output to DataObjects.
- `types` - an array of class names, with the value being the content to use for `og:type` met tag.

Example `config.yml`
--------------------

[](#example-configyml)

```
SocialMetaTags:
  default_title: 'PageTitle'
  default_description: ''
  meta_description_default: true
  titles:
    Category: 'Name'
    Product: 'Name'
    Recipe: 'Name'
  descriptions:

    Category: 'BeautyShot'
    Product: 'BeautyShot'
    Recipe: 'Image'
  types:
    Recipe: 'article'
  twitter_site: ''
```

Adding social media meta tags to DataObjects
--------------------------------------------

[](#adding-social-media-meta-tags-to-dataobjects)

By default, this module will only add social media meta tags to SiteTree objects.

To add social media meta tags to DataObjects:

- in `/mysite/_config.php`, add the extension to each DataObject class you wish.
    - e.g. `Recipe::add_extension('SocialMetaTagsExtension');`
- in `/mysite/_config/config.yml`, set options for `titles`, `descriptions`, and `images` (if desired) for your class.
    - for an example, see the above example `config.yml`.
- in your DataObject's class, add new fields in `getCMSFields()`:

```
  public function getCMSFields() {
      $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

      ...

      $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', new TextareaField("SocialMetaDescription"));
      $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', new UploadField("SocialMetaImage"));

      return $fields;
  }
```

- run a `/dev/build?flush=all`
